jo's bday

20-30 of us went up to kalamunda (hills) to have lunch together to celebrate my sis's 30th!

it wasn't a sun shiny day :( but it was still good! We went to this place called Le Paris Brest Cafe Francais, an award winning french restaurant/patisserie. photos taken from phone camera again...The food:

Started with soup shooters
Then french bread with dips - salmon, some yellow thing..hehe and balsamic vinegar

Mains we had the option of calamari rings (which i had), chic casserole (jimz had that), fish & rice, risotto, sandwich steak...i think the chic was the best...the others were so-so...

then dessert was the birthday cake!

it's soooooooooooo yummy! it's a 3 choc mousse cake...soooo yummy..the best cake ever! my phone ran out of batt, so i couldn't take a pic of the layers in the cake! but it's yummm..

if u want to take a drive....go to this place for lunch/afternoon tea..so yum! there's tarts, croissant etc. In the entertainment book too! it's located in the midst of a shopping area - think broadway for perthians...but i reckon it's worth the drive up there if u have nothing to do...hehe the sweets are yummmmmmmmmmmmm

4th!

man, what a week!

it's literally wakeup, get ready, go work, finish work, come home, eat dinner/grab dinner out, pick up my couz then head 1/2hr to woodman point campsite for the ROAR camp (church youth camp). We could only go for the night sessions obviously because of work, but it was AWESOME! God really moved and touched lives.

They hired a marquee/tent and had it set up for meetings. The crate up near the ceiling is the projector! hehe how kewlz that?

we had Ps matt from Lakes church to come preach for the whole camp. The message was great! About going deeper, also about speaking in, speaking up and speaking out.

Some people were up at the altar till 2am one night/morning! even though it finished at like 12. that's called hunger...so awesome.

here are some pics/vids from it.

There's a song written by Ps John (youth pastor) in the following video. It's called United. Great song! 1st song before that is Hosanna - nice song too. Sorry, video isn't too good. Taken from my phone camera and there wasn't enough light!

(Another overdue post from 11/7/07 by my wife which I am putting up now, sigh... :P)

haha...keep counting my entries on your fingers.
Give it about a year, i wonder how many there'll be.

i bought a camera bag y/day on ebay!
yippeee! cos my current freebee form digital rev broke on me.
the cheap plastic buckles broke off *yeesh*
so i bought myself a 2nd hand - used once only - so hoping condition is pretty much brand new lowepro slinghot aw 200! won the bid at $88 + $10 post, later to realise that they sell it at $130 here. so not bad i guess...it looks like this.

it's in the post today from over east..yippee!

another day not at work.
the person i work for is pretty sick, and cos she works from home, it's better that i'm not there..
no work means no pay, as i contract, but it's ok.
it means more time at home and sort out my unorganised life.
i've just designed a temp business card.
i quite like it...so might run with it.
waiting for feedbacks from a few people who are free to email at work :P
then i'll print a few dozen up for now.

leave it there!

shona's 2nd entry!

Shona (this is an overdue post from 9/7/07):

i'm gona attempt puting an entry in :) here goes....i have a feeling it's gona be long...hehe

transformers....the best. go watch it if u haven't! and i'm not even a transformers fan!! may be it's jimmy's influence, but i reckon it's more cos it's a great movie with awesome CG. amazing...esp after doing multimedia for 3 years, you just learn to appreciate these things.

what else has been happening? i'm not really sure...

I've been telling my friend liz that my life's pretty "normal". Unlike hers - she went for a 1-2hr makeup course thing, planning to go rose prunning classes, cooks and bakes like almost all the time! My days are pretty normal! wakeup, work (well had the day off today cos the person i work for is pretty sick and i dun wanna get her germs), come home, cook, eat, may be a bit of tv/check mail, then zzz. tat's pretty much life for me..hehe but i'm quite ok with it. haven't been fishing much cos there seem to be a lack of fish - may be it's the weather..

but here's a pic of the fishes we caught when we went on a fishing charter for deep sea fishing. we went early June for our aniversary :) The top two were the ones we caught. the longest fish at the bottom was given to us by the skipper. Measure the size of the fish to the lemonade can! fish was yummy too!

woke up at 530am today cos we have prayermeet at 6-7am for the upcoming ROAR camp (youth in church). 6am pmeet started mon and will go on for 2 weeks till camp.

i feel very honoured to serve alongside a magnificent team of people in ROAR.

here's an example of what happens at roar/fuel/nations...this photo was taken at NATIONS - ROAR (upper high school n uni age) and FUEL (lower high school) combined.

Here's our church - South City church...the deco changes EVERY month! how awesome is that??!

Jimz and I are so glad we're part of South City Church. Everyone has a calling and a direction in life, and for us we find that God's bringing us in the same direction as where South City is heading. Their spirit of excellence, and just being seeker friendly as well. Worship is awesome in church...media is the best too!

I think i better end there...cos i can go on and on. I should really do some work!

here's the most recent (crap) photo of jimz n me..hehe taken from my camera fon.
